I can only offer my own experiences.

But Vista and DX 10 have given me absolutley no problems. They run just as well as xp and DX9 and look better.

Actually, you might want to reconsider that second person pronoun, because as I have said before... No problems here.

i would agree with that up until I blew my vid card and bought an upgrade, now for the OS to operate properly I have to figure out why my CPU is consistently at max load with this new vid card with the latest drivers.

Once that is fixed then I'll go back to agreeing with you lol

BTW controler...not to be mean or nothing, but If your going to make an argument against something, provide examples, not just "because i say so" type of retorts.

You must ahve some rubbishy cpu! vista in RAm intensive not CPU, maybe u have undelying issues

As for the argument, i prefer it as me voicing my experineces rather than stating facts starting an argument

Don't you have to reactive Vista when you change hardware? I heard that somewhere but I haven't changed any hardware yet so I don't know.

Only if the mobo is changed, vista ties iteslf with the motherboard, but if you ring them up on ther freephone number and (lie) i mean honestly tell them that you (bought a new board) had to get the old one replaced cause it broke they give you a new activation key!

XP has been my favorite although 2000 was a close second. Don't know why you liked 98-- it would crash your computer and then you'd have to wait through that ridiculous scan when it started up again--and because it used FAT32, you neede to defrag it continuously--another time consuming process. The only thing I liked about 98 was the DOS support--too bad MS scrapped that by they had to to go to NTFS OS.


lol that reason alone was why i liked it mulder lol

And sometimes even a change to the same brand of MOBO will fly by. I recently upgraded my mother-in-laws computer with new MOBO (same brand different model) and processor (AMD Dual Core from single) and Windows XP booted right up--I was shocked--first of all because I expected I'd have to reinstall Windows (I've had to many times with less hardware change) and then re-activate it (and she had no clue where her original CD was or her product activation code). I thought' I'd have to beg Microsoft for a product activation by telephone.

For those of you who don't know--there are a number of places to download an XP CD off the Internet you can use to reinstall XP--you'll just have to activate it in 30 days. But it comes in handy in situations where someone has lost their original CD or were never given it.

sorry we where talking about vista!

and seriously mate best if you do re-install xp after such a big hardware change! either that or make sure the old mobo drivers are dead and gone and the new ones are functioning with no conflict

also it's a good idea to go onto microsoft's site and check to see if it still recognizes it as a genuine product. It may not error out until a month or so down the road if you don't.
